Vince Vaughn has had an extremely eclectic 30-year career in Hollywood thus far. After toiling away on television for several years in the late 80s and early 90s, Vaughn finally landed a breakout role in the 1993 sports drama, Rudy. The experience not only opened doors for Vaughn’s acting career, but it also led to his introduction to Jon Favreau, who would go on to become Vaughn’s close friend, collaborator, and co-producer.

Once Vaughn and Favreau made Swingers in 1996, their respective careers took off. Favreau has since gone on to helm big-budget Star Wars and Marvel movies, while Vaughn continued to focus on acting. To that end, here are Vince Vaughn’s 5 Best & 5 Worst Movies, According to IMDb!

10 I Love Your Work (2003) 5.3/10

Adam Goldberg’s incoherent neo-noir I Love Your Work failed to strike a chord with critics and general moviegoers alike. Luckily for Vaughn, he only appears in the film briefly as a shady cat named Stiev.

The narrative drive of the film follows movie star Gray Evans (Giovanni Ribisi), who suffers a mental breakdown due to his failing marriage and crumbling fame. When Gray meets a young idealistic film student, he gets drawn into a web of psychosis, paranoia, and ultimate self-destruction.

9 Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004) 7.2/10

Although he’s technically uncredited, who can honestly forget Vaughn as Wes Mantooth during the uproarious anchormen skirmish in the Legend of Ron Burgundy? Yeah, no one!

You know the deal. Will Ferrell might give the performance of his career as Ron Burgundy, the rakishly mustachioed news anchor in 1970s San Diego. He and his team of ultra-moronic dimwits have zero class, no decorum, and treat women as objectified pieces of meat. Thankfully Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) gets her just desserts!

8 Lay The Favorite (2012) 4.8/10

One of Vaughn’s most recent cinematic missteps comes via Lay The Favorite, a listless rom-com far below director Stephen Frears’ standards. Far below anyone’s standards, really!

The film follows wannabe cocktail waitress Beth (Rebecca Hall), who moves to Las Vegas from Florida to achieve her dream. She soon meets Dink (Bruce Willis) upon arrival, a high-stakes gambler married to the gold-digging Tulip (Catherine Zeta-Jones). When Beth and Dink start an affair, Tulip demands an ultimatum between the two women. Vaughn plays Rosie, a corny bookie based out of Curacao.

7 Swingers (1996) 7.2/10

What can we say? There’s a real possibility that, without Swingers, there’d be no Vince Vaughn movie career to speak of. Therefore, it’s not only one of his highest-rated films per IMDB, but it’s arguably the most important of his career as well!

Directed by Doug Liman from a script by Jon Favreau, the film focuses on Mike (Favreau) and Trent (Vaughn), two L.A. players who venture to Las Vegas to press their luck at the craps table. Of course, a journey of wild debauchery turns into one of sobering self-discovery as the two pals overcome a series of misadventures.

6 Psycho (1998) 4.6/10

Technically speaking, Gus Van Sant’s shot-for-shot remake of Hitchcock’s Psycho is superbly crafted. The real issue is why he decided to do it in the first place!

As for Vaughn, who wouldn’t want to step into the shoes (heels?) of Norman Bates, one of the most iconic screen villains of all time? Especially that early in his career. That said, the star-studded remake proves absolutely no reason to exist other than as a self-indulgent directorial exercise for Van Sant coming off his Oscar nod for Good Will Hunting.

5 Rudy (1993) 7.5/10

Speaking of two pals, Rudy is the film that led to Vaughn meeting Jon Favreau for the first time. While Vaughn is certainly grateful for scoring one of his first movie roles, he’s likely even prouder of the lifelong friendship he’s forged with Favs.

Not to get all weepy, but Rudy is a movie that reduces grown men to a puddle of tears. The real-life story of Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger (Sean Astin), an undersized, overlooked, and unathletic Notre Dame football player is as inspiring as they come. Told all his life he’ll never see playing time, Rudy overcomes the longest of odds for one moment of glory!

4 Pauly Shore Is Dead (2003) 4.4/10

Although Vaughn cheekily appears as himself in the film, there’s no escaping the deep inferiority complex found in Pauly Shore is Dead. Yikes!

Directed by Shore, the film is a quasi-biographical fantasy that imagines what would happen if Pauly faked his own death. Shore gets the idea to do so after losing everything, the money, fame, notoriety, and moves back home with his mother. In feigning his death, Shore believes he’ll be remembered much more fondly than when alive. A cool idea that ultimately fails!

3 Hacksaw Ridge (2016) 8.1/10

From one epically inspiring true story to another, Vaughn sure knows how to pick them. However, in Mel Gibson’s harrowing war drama Hacksaw Ridge, Vaughn is given a bigger part to sink his teeth into.

The incredible story traces Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield), a pacifistic Army Medic serving in Okinawa during WWII. Without firing a single bullet during months entrenched in battle, Doss overcomes severe odds en route to rescuing innumerable wounded soldiers. Vaughn plays Sergeant Howell, Doss’ superior who helps him win the first Medal of Honor without firing a single shot.

2 South Of Heaven, West Of Hell (2000) 4.2/10

Despite boasting the best title of his entire oeuvre, the fact remains that Vaughn’s throwback western South of Heaven, West of Hell ranks at the bottom of his filmography.

Directed by and co-starring Dwight Yoakam, the film is set in Arizona during the 1900s. U.S. Marshall Valentine Casey (Yoakam) is paid a visit by his estranged and wanted father-in-law on Christmas Eve. Following the visit, Casey and his partner U.S. Christmas (James Terry McIlvain) set out to rescue Val’s sweetheart Adalyne (Bridget Fonda).

1 Into The Wild (2006) 8.1/10

Under the sublime direction of Sean Penn, Vaughn gives one of his most human and heartfelt turns as real-life figure Wayne Westerberg in Into The Wild. The film currently ranks #207 on IMDB’s Top 250!

The tragic yet celebratory true tale follows young hiker Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch), an idealistic loner who ventured in the woods by himself in 1992 and never made it out alive. Stripping all of his possessions and donating his $24,000 in life savings to charity, Chris set out to live off the land in a self-sufficient manner. Wayne Westerberg (Vaughn) is one of Chris’ farming employers before the journey takes place.
